Texas Country's next big artist?

Ashley Ewing:
Texas’ Next Big Thing in Country Music?

By: Brian Sprague 2/5/2025

Somewhere between the neon-lit honky-tonks of Texas and the streaming playlists of a generation raised on genre-blurring sounds, Ashley Ewing is carving out her own space. She’s got the soul of a storyteller, the chops of a road-seasoned musician, and a voice that carries the dust and dreams of the Lone Star State. Hailing from the Dallas area, Ewing isn’t just playing country—she’s bending it, twisting it, and making it her own.



And now, the industry is paying attention.

 

Riding the Texas Wave

In 2025, Ashley Ewing found herself in the conversation for one of Texas’ most buzzed-about accolades—nominated for Emerging Female Artist of the Year at the Texas Music Chart Awards. The first round of voting wrapped on February 1st, and if you follow Ewing on social media, you know she was all in, rallying fans and making sure her voice, and their votes, were heard.

The nomination isn’t just a line on a résumé—it’s a testament to the slow-burn rise of an artist whose music speaks louder than industry politics. Ewing is living proof that Texas country still belongs to the ones who play their hearts out and mean every damn word.

Her self-titled EP is out now, spinning on every streaming platform that matters, a collection of songs that drift effortlessly between classic country storytelling and something a little less predictable. One track in particular, Promises and Mistakes, has been catching ears—probably because it pairs Ewing with Blane Howard, whose own brand of country has been making waves. Together, they’ve crafted something raw, real, and undeniably Texas.



But Ashley Ewing isn’t just a studio artist—she thrives where country music lives and breathes: on stage. Whether it’s a beer-soaked barroom or a festival field under the wide Texas sky, Ewing delivers. Her performances aren’t just sets; they’re experiences. She’s got that intangible something—call it presence, call it authenticity, call it the thing that separates the stars from the hopefuls.

More Than a Moment—A Movement

Ewing’s ascent isn’t some overnight TikTok miracle. It’s been built on sweat, songcraft, and an unwavering belief in the music she’s making. The Texas music scene has taken notice, and this nomination? It’s just the beginning.


For those who want in on the ride, Ashley Ewing is easy to find. Her official website has the goods—tour dates, new releases, all of it. Social media? Yeah, she’s there, keeping fans in the loop on Facebook and Instagram. And if you want to hear what all the buzz is about, YouTube has the proof.

One thing’s for sure: Ashley Ewing isn’t waiting for permission. She’s already moving, already making her mark. And if the Texas country scene is paying attention now, it won’t be long before the rest of the world does too.
